The W3C is a consortium. It consists of corporations, and corporations
are generally incorporated to be selfish.

Consortia are not standards bodies except through concerted delusion.

There's plenty of innovation, for lack of a better word. The issue is
whether it's the right kind. But this can't - and shouldn't - occur to
anyone who starts with the premise that the W3C speaks for a wider
community. If you want that, you'll simply have to believe it. Despite
the facts.
Because some will find your lack of faith disturbing.
